#2. MMA bantamweight standout Dominick Cruz
When it comes to creative Halloween costumes, it doesn’t get much better than this, especially for MMA fighters.
Dominick Cruz pulled off the iconic Ron Burgundy look with ease. The details are key: Cruz not only sports the signature Ron Burgundy mustache, but he also has the same suit, outdated hair, and ugly tie. Even Cruz’s dog is doing an excellent job in the role of Ron Burgundy’s four-legged friend Baxter.
On top of all that, Cruz trains MMA out of San Diego, the setting of the famous Anchorman movies. It is also the genesis behind the “Stay Classy, San Diego” quote, which Cruz has referenced in his Instagram post.
Although Halloween is often associated with horror and scares aplenty, it’s often the humorous costumes that wind up stealing the show. And for the former UFC bantamweight champion and 11th-ranked contender, he did just that.
A round of applause for Cruz and his adorable canine companion Dojo!
#1. Thomas Narmo
Now, without a doubt, the best costume has to go to Norway’s Thomas Narmo.
Standing at a hulking 6-foot-7, Narmo’s MMA nickname—to the surprise of nobody—is ‘The Last Viking.’ And it’s pretty easy to see why. The ONE Championship heavyweight MMA contender not only comes from the land of Vikings, but he also looks the part.
Narmo’s outfit includes just about everything Viking-related other than a boat.
Of course, he is equipped with a battle-ax—because the living giant isn’t scary enough already—draped in pelts, fur, and armor. Additionally, he has his face painted in the style of traditional Viking warrior war paint.
Narmo included a variety of pictures of himself on Instagram in costume, alongside two others dressed similarly ahead of a photoshoot. The undefeated MMA fighter embraces his Nordic heritage, making for a perfect Halloween presentation - scary, historical, and detailed. The only suitable spot for Narmo and his crew is atop this list.
Are there any more MMA fighters who have outrageous Halloween costumes that should be on this list?
